The Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints entered Bank of America Stadium on two different paths. Carolina opened the season with two wins while the Saints found themselves on the opposite end of the scoreboard, losing twice.
At the end of the day both teams changed their immediate future, Panthers suffering their first loss of the season and New Orleans beginning an impressive eight game win streak. Ten weeks later these two meet again in a game carrying a lot more weight this time around.
Carolina travels to New Orleans having won four in a row but the Saints lost last week for the first time in over two months.
